The Acolyte is one of the more mystical upcoming Disney+ series. Instead of living in the timeline of the “Mando-verse” or parallel to any film trilogy, it’s actually set a century before anything we’ve seen in live-action, promising our first look at “the final days of the High Republic.” It’s the first Star Wars series to have a female showrunner, Leslye Headland, and will focus on the Jedi and Sith dynamics that have largely gone ignored in Star Wars TV.
